KOTA TINGGI: Two women were each sentenced to five days in jail and fined RM3,000 after pleading guilty to fraudulently using forged medical certificates (MCs).
Two women, Alia Mysarah Hairol and Nurin Atiqah Kamalrudin, were sentenced to five days in jail and fined RM3,000 for using forged medical certificates fraudulently. The court heard that they had jointly used a forged medical certificate, believing it to be genuine. The case was heard at a hardware shop in Jalan Tun Sri Lanang. The women were found guilty under Section 471 of the Penal Code, which can also result in a maximum two-year prison sentence, a fine, or both, according to Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Nuraini Mohd Shapee.
They were represented by National Legal Aid Foundation lawyer Hilmi Sulaiman Salahuddin. The women were arrested in Kota Tinggi two days ago.
